It is a known fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Mount Vernon that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, these mandates bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
